That's a really good question. In my experience, you know it's the drugs that are in control and it opens you up to the idea that our brains are capable of much more than we recognize in a non-induced state. I'm not religious or spiritual and hallucinogens didn't impact that at all.
I do think if you're looking for some type of spiritual encounter then you'll have it. It definitely lends itself to that. When trees start breathing it's a pretty easy jump to that. But if you go in to it as if you were just taking a ride, you'll be able to distinguish between reality and drug-induced reality.
Either way, you want to have your head on straight before you step off. It can be scary for some and that will build on itself. But if you're open to it, do it in a safe, stress-free place, it can be a very positive experience.
And personally, if you're interested and haven't done it, I'd suggest mushrooms first. I think that's the best introduction to hallucinogens.

@ElwoodBlues Spirituality is a nebulous term but to me it means a connection with reality in a way that's greater than our primary senses - and importantly the notion that you can channel that connection through meditation, ritual, crystals, whatever else is your bag.
And it's just never done anything for me. But drugs are fun and introspection is healthy so I'll take that.

@CountScrofula No need for crystals or rituals or mantras when we have the Hubble Ultra Deep Field and similar images. The full resolution image is said to contain about 25,000 galaxies of about 100 billion stars each; scattered like grains of rice in the cosmos. Contemplating it gives me a deep sense of wonder outside the primary senses.

Depending upon the person's background, he or she might be more likely to understand that, by modifying the biochemical soup in which your brain sits, you are (obviously) quite likely able to affect its function.
We know alcohol--a poison trying to shut down the CNS--can alter perception. That's not the same as saying that those altered perceptions are correct.

Um yeah this protraction of pathetic perseveration is highly emotional and the fact that you can’t and don’t see that is sad but not surprising. 😝
Nobody is yelling but you duder… 🤠
I’m guessing you’re just guessing here lol 🤥 I mean lying your way further down the grave you’ve dug for yourself lol
Dead easy lol wow that’s ironic wording for sure lol 😂
I’m not surprised by your blatant disregard for logic and your inability to comprehend the most basic concepts. I’m not even shocked by your perseveration because you do it every single time you go “off the tracks” and try to claim that you know what you’re talking about. I feel sorry for your mom 🙄
am not giving emotional responses, these are logical notions.
You are the one yelling and claiming no logic, when the logic is dead easy:
if you change the chemicals presented to the brain, a change in perception can happen.
It happens in both alcohol consumption and LSD use.
Not surprising.

Oh wow another observation you’re not qualified to make…
I highly doubt that your education is sufficient let alone superior to mine. 🙄
No, you just don't understand basics

I have no idea but I'm sure it's something you can google. Try Erowid first if it still exists.
